say where does God fit in,
say I have no PROOF,
say I'm crazy.
Not everyone likes putting aside what they think has being true.

"Knowing" the answer requires a certain state of being. The "answer" can never be given to anyone, they have to reach the state of being required on their own. And upon so doing, they will have no need of anyone telling them the answer, they will already "know".

I do have the answer. In fact, I have many answers. However, the most interesting thing to me is how very few people want to hear them. I understand why. Once you have an answer, there's a tendency to stop looking. Then what do you do?

when people say this, I want to hit my head repeatedly until my brain turns into mush. so that your statement will be true.
the fact is, WE CAN LEARN THE TRUTH, about every single thing in existance, that's what we do. We think.
We rationalize and come to a conclusion.
are the lens on my sunglasses black? yes. thats a true fact. that's the truth. truth is in the simplest context.
it's what you think it is without second guessing it. (logically) obviously I could say well no they're red. but then the fact speaks for itself, they are black.edit on 8-7-2011 by yourmaker because: (no reason given)

The assumption that you or anybody else know the truth is mind boggling.
By that statement you'd be saying, the truth can be narrowed down into some words, put in books and library's and so on.
I think Gremlin2011 is very aware of the fact that truth is a living reality, moving and changing, creation is ongoing as we speak.

"The answer to what?" is the obvious question in response to the question and the answer to that being, "Whatever." Senseless? Maybe. But... The truth is (so to speak) that largely everything we know (I'm being generous here) about our universe, the nature of reality, consciousness (in other words everything we are, were, will be) is based on conjecture, suspicion, theory or some combination of these. Otherwise there would be no more discoveries. No new theories. No ideas or concepts or imagination. Nothing at all.
So, considering that, would you tell anyone if you had the answer? Think about it. Or not. Either way the prize is the same. Thanks for playing

I'm going to stop right there and agree with you. The rest of that crap....let's just pretend it never happened. Okay?
